A Alemanha invade a Polônia em 1º de setembro de 1939 e isto marca o início da 2ª Guerra Mundial. Em menos de um mês a Polônia se rende e logo surge uma lista crescente de proibições e regras, que levaram ao virtual aprisionamento de meio milhão de judeus-poloneses em uma parte velha de Varsóvia, que ficou conhecido como o "Gueto de Varsóvia". O lugar logo se mostrou inadequado para alojar tantas pessoas. Além disto a comida era muito escassa, pois os nazistas reservaram para si 2617 calorias por dia, os poloneses tinham direito a 699 e os judeus apenas 184. A luta diária não era só contra a fome, mas também contra as doenças. Esta situação se agrava em 1942, com as "deportações diárias para o leste", que eram trens levando por dia seis mil judeus para os campos de concentração, onde eram executados em massa. Vendo que suas mortes eram apenas um questão de tempo, os judeus, liderados por Moredecai Anielewicz , fizeram a única coisa que os nazistas nunca esperaram: revidaram.
